Prayer and Talkativeness

[katieq]

I hope I put this in the correct section, if not please let me know…I have noticed for quite some time that I am overly talkative, always filling in the “dead time” in the presence of others with conversation. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions, particularly prayers/exercises that will help me overcome this problem.

God bless and happy Ash Wednesday,
Kate

Agh! I have the same problem.

I think the best solution is fasting from talking. Not all talking, of course.

But, maybe practicing only reflective conversation and asking questions.

You can also ask your Guardian Angel to help you with this.

a priest once suggested to me a careful reading and meditation on the letter of St. James, esp. where he talks about mis-use of the tongue.
